What is happening with your baby?
Up until this point, your baby’s head was the largest part of his/her body, but that is beginning to change. Your baby’s head is now only about 1/3 of his/her total body. Unique fingerprints are now located on the tips of your baby’s fingers. The kidney and urinary tract are completely functional which allows the amniotic fluid he/she has been swallowing to be excreted. Covering your baby’s skin is a fine, soft hair called lanugo.
How big is your baby?
By your thirteenth week of pregnancy your baby is about 3½ inches long (8 cm) and weighs 1¼ ounces (35 g).
